S is for Sports

Sports Craft Instructions:
I found these foam circles & sports circles at the Dollar Store...

We layered them together & glued them together, before punching holes around the edge...

Then we laced ribbon through the openings...

Some of the children were able to do it easily & it frustrated others.
I worked on it with each child & over time, their fine motor skills will improve & "lacing" will become easier. This is a simple activity you can throw in your purse to keep your child occupied at the Dr, church or the grocery store!

We talked about the letter "S" today
Each child had the opportunity to TRACE the letter S on the whiteboard, by following the dots...

For handwriting today, we traced the letters SPORTS...
This is another skill that will improve with time & practice. You can easily write out ANY WORD with DOTS for them to CONNECT... to practice at home!

We talked about all different kinds of sports today, including FOOTBALL, BOWLING, HOCKEY, GOLF, SWIMMING, BASKETBALL & MORE!!!

Then we played a game of basketball...preschool style:)
Each child had the opportunity to throw the ball until they made it!
They were so proud when they did!
Sports help develop hand-eye-coordination.
Take opportunities to play sports with your child, even a game of catch will help improve their coordination.

See what your child can find around the house that starts with the letter "S"
Remind them it makes a sound like a snake....SSSssssssssssssss!
